Note for anyone still to do the shock conversion on the 600 whether for r6 or the thou shock. Before refitting the swing arm, hang the new shock in place by the top bolt. It saves the fight to get the reservoir up through the arm
Also where I fitted everything back loosely when I came to tighten the bottom shock bolt the new dog bones blocked me from using a socket due to their shape.
Give us a shout if you fancy a run out.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - midden - 26-07-14
I fancy we set it up first and then ride.
Take it have the know how
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - midden - 26-07-14
also I learned a lesson about organic rear pads today. they're foccin shyte, I need new set already. though that may be down to over use aswell :\
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 26-07-14
Pop round mine then and we'll do it. I'm certainly no guru but we can set up your static and rider sag then go from how it feels from there. Might be worth giving Kitcrazy a shout. He may well be up for a little run on his new steed.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - kitcrazy - 26-07-14
im in mate see you tomorrow

As he's always late and I think he's pissed. :lol
Anyone else want to have a jaunt out, all are welcome.

Got my positive mental attitude head on today......just felt like a spin on the thou as soon as i woke up......i just still haven't been feeling the love with it recently and i still dont have a c spanner for the nitron shock.
Anyway i double checked the rear sag with me sitting on it......it is 40mm......ok so on the limit and close to being too soft on paper but certainly not needing made any saggier is it.
Then i got a cable tie on the front fork.....35mm static sag with me on it.....excellent :thumbup [size=78%]........then after a spirited ride it is as follows.......i think that looks good doesn't it.....i've got quite a bit left before it bottoms out which is good as a margin for safety....i did hit some pretty harsh bumps and went over fast crests.[/size]
[/size]
[/size]
[/size][size=78%]I then attacked the front rebound.....the last ride i had was just to work but it felt chattery over rough ground even at normal traffic speeds.......so i softened up the rebound by 2 clicks......felt much better but just a little harsh on my wrists and arms......so i stopped and went 1 more click softer......pretty perfect i think and i really enjoyed my short 50 mile test run.[/size] 8)
[/size]
[/size]
[/size][size=78%]Im almost ready for another decent Mid Wales run now me thinks[/size]
.1 question for the gurus though........powering on mid corner at the apex the front end was getting a little bit light and i could feel a side to side wobble over the road........im gonna go 1 more softer on front compression as i think i can get away with that and still have plenty clearance but can anyone identify what i should do to get rid of this mid corner front lightness.......is it just a case of a smidge more preload on the back shock maybe.......or is it the rear compression????
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - woodwizzard - 27-07-14
Decided to take the rear wheel off so I could give it a proper clean. Thought I may aswell take the sprocket off and clean that also. This then made the swingarm look dirty, so I cleaned that, see where this is going? Got a half clean bike now as I have other stuff to do. Looks good from the back though :eek :lol
Went back to the bike and decided to try my luck on seeing if the exup valve bolts were free. Each one came out sweet as a nut. Decided to replace them with new bolts while they were out. Coated them in threadlock..........oh no, hang on, I mean coppa-slip, before nipping them up
:lol
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - pilninggas - 27-07-14
Just done the oil and filter. Refitted the baglux tank cover. Getting ready to tool off to Europe.
Ferry booked for Friday morning, but might leave it and go early next week.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - unfazed - 27-07-14
Sorted the original plug caps, stripped and cleaned the connection inside them including the small washer and spring ends. Broke open a few old NGK ones I had hanging around and used the resistors from them as they are better than the originals (NGK are 5K Ohm and seem to vary by 5% whereas the OEM are 10K Ohm, but vary by 20%.
Bike running sweetly now at all revs
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - Dave48 - 27-07-14
Yesterday rode over to CMC Cannock then over Cannock Chase & up to Blithfield reservoir near Admaston As the road crosses the reservoir the air temp briefly dropped then back to the high 70s.! Crossed to the A515 down to Lichfield & back to Brum for cold drinks/icecream.
Today marginally cooler rode round Worcestershire came home washed bike-just road dust mainly.

PICKED IT UP OFF THE FECKING FLOOR !!!! :'( (yesterday)
got home from work,parked her up onto the main stand,went up into my flat,heard a horrible metalic 'clump'.thought it sounded strange,so went out to see what it was and found the old girl on her side-the bloody main stand had sunk on 1 side into the baking hot tarmac and got to a unstopable angle and over she went :eek
absolute bitch to get up off the ground enough to put her onto the side stand,and of course it stunk of petrol and would'nt start again for ages.
snapped the toggled end off the clutch lever,scratched the engine covers and popped the indicator out of the hole in which it sits.
i normaly park the bike further back from where i had yesterday,id only put her there cos i planned to lube the chain. :rolleyes
gutted.
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - baggy - 27-07-14
Looked at it for about 30 minutes in the dealers before deciding to buy it. Pick my FZ8 up on Wednesday
Re: what did you do with your fazer today ? - dazza - 27-07-14
A few of the usual suspects met up at mine for a little suspension tweek on Middens bike then a nice spirited twisty route to the coast for fish and chips.
Going by the constant image of a red 600 in my mirror's I would say those little tweeks paid off.'
